We continue to assess and wait for public health guidance about gatherings of groups of people and how that guidance will apply as we move from spring to summer months. We anticipate that all orientation programming will still take place for summer 2020, and it may be online if not on-campus. Orientation and Transition Programs will communicate any updates and next steps to your CSU email account, in the event of any changes to summer orientation.
We get it. Decisions are complicated right now and we want to help. Whether you’re second guessing your decision to attend CSU or you want to give CSU a second look, we’re here for you. Reach out to us and we will help you however we can, including changing the status of your enrollment decision.

The application site remains open for you to make revisions to your application preferences. If you were still considering applying for a Residential Learning Community, you can find additional details here.
Due to impacts of COVID-19, we are currently unable to send admit packets in the mail. If you were admitted recently, there may be a delay before you receive your letter and other admit materials. We do, however, plan to send all admit materials once we return to campus.

No, if you’ve already been admitted for Fall 2020, we’ll retain your admission even if your spring grades are reported as pass/fail only.
If you’re applying for Fall 2021 or later, one term of pass/fail grades will not impact our ability to evaluate your overall academic achievement and potential for academic success at CSU.
No. While we typically require proof of high school graduation for incoming first-year students before the start of their first semester, we allow a one-semester grace period for students to submit their final transcript. Your admission and ability to enroll in the Fall 2020 semester will not be impacted if you cannot get us proof of graduation until the fall.
We’re also working with the Office of Financial Aid to make sure there’s no impact on the release of first semester aid.
